When it comes to the Copa del Rey game between Athletic Bilbao and Real Madrid, it can be really interesting for sure. Because these teams played against each other in the Super Cup finale and Real Madrid reached the championship by 2-0. But Athletic Bilbao still didn't play that bad in that game. I think that they will see this as a revenge game and do their best to defeat Real Madrid this time. As they have an advantage of playing in their home stadium, Athletic Bilbao can really surprise us.
If Atlético Bilbao plays the same way they played against Barcelona in the last match, then they have every chance to beat Real Madrid. And if they can get past Real Madrid, then their chances of winning the Spanish Cup will increase, since they will have no other strong opponents left. So it is possible that the winner of this match will eventually win this cup.
Where did you get this odds for Real Madrid, I tried to check some sites such as Stake and duelbits but still cant find the markets for this match. I check livescore, the odds for Real Madrid is more than 2.3. Saying Atletico Bilbao has no chance against Real Madrid is exaggerated, I will not underestimate Atletico Bilbao but I have to say that Real Madrid is obvious favorite in this match.
The closest match in the Copa del Rey for Real Madrid is Atletico Bilbao. That's enough to make it a pretty tough match and it's not easy to come out with a winning score. We all know the rivalry between Real Madrid and Atletico Bilbao is still going on because they lost 0-2 to Real Madrid in the Supercopa. Reflecting on the Madrid game, which always struggles against weaker clubs, this proves that playing against Bilbao will not be easy either.
The Copa del Rey quarter-finals will certainly be a match worth waiting for, but I think the two teams are too soon to meet and maybe it can be said that this is an early final of the Copa de Rey so far because it brings together two big teams in La Liga, apart from Bilbao and Madrid , I don't see any other team that might deserve to reach the final.
But of course the match will be a difficult match for both teams, madrid who managed to beat bilbao in the super cup final of course they hope to repeat it again in the copa del rey, but I think bilbao certainly will not give up just like that, moreover they will play own cage.
You are right if you look at each movement, especially Bilbao, it is still too early to face Madrid. The current state of Bilbao still needs a bit of a violent collision to be on a level with Madrid. However, it is possible that Bilbao is also a club that often makes surprises on the field. So Madrid must not be careless, I believe that Bilbao will make it difficult for Madrid forwards.
If Atlético Bilbao plays the same way they played against Barcelona in the last match, then they have every chance to beat Real Madrid. And if they can get past Real Madrid, then their chances of winning the Spanish Cup will increase, since they will have no other strong opponents left. So it is possible that the winner of this match will eventually win this cup.
When Real Madrid got unexpected scores in their last match, of course, the odds given by the bookies increased. I think the 1.75 ratio is too high. There will definitely be those who want to take advantage of this opportunity. They probably won't experience the bad luck in the Elche match again. I think they can easily beat Athletico.
Barcelona really made a nice comeback from a bad condition in the standings. They were way below this position as they lost so many points back then. But recently, it looks like Xavi and the players have started doing a better job. And this reflects on their results too. Maybe Barcelona are still not a complete team now. But it is good that they are developing their game. As time goes on, they can climb the positions in the standings more but I think that the best position they can reach is the third position. As Real Madrid and Sevilla are fighting for the title, they are already far ahead.

Before the Barcelona - Atletico Madrid match, it feels really good to see these two teams have started being back on track. Maybe they both don't get comfortable wins yet but this is still an improvement of course. They somehow manage to win their matches. And they are competing with each other closely in the standings also. And this big match will carry a big importance for each of them. Because if Barcelona win this match, then they will take the 4th place from them and get two points ahead of them also. And Atletico Madrid would aim to get at least one point. I expect a defensive play from them and let's see what Barcelona will be able to do about it. I can't wait to watch this match!
And it is good to see Atletico Madrid and Barcelona recovering also. Each one of these teams are one of the biggest teams of the La Liga. It wouldn't be good to witness them finishing at a bad place in the standings. Actually, these teams both are still struggling to win their games but the result is the most important. Atletico Madrid were 2-0 behind but didn't give up and won by 3-2. This is very important. This shows their dedication now. And Barcelona also struggled against one of the weakest teams of the season but still defeated them in the end. But they should improve their performance to have this win streak continuing.
Indeed, it is a good full point for Barcelona but Barcelona should be able to win easily in that match, considering the opponents they face are only teams that are in the relegation zone. Still doubtful for Barcelona when against other top teams later but even so indeed, Barcelona are slowly recovering and they can still struggle to get at least a point when against the tougher ones later. About Atletico I think it's clear, they still have a high winning mentality, it's not easy to win in that way, moreover the opponent is not a weak team because Valencia are one of the big teams in La Liga.The consistent performances shown by Atletico Madrid and Barcelona in several matches show that they have returned to their best form even though it is very difficult to catch real Madrid and Sevilla but at least they can return to the path of the top 4 to fight for a Champions League ticket next season, considering the match It's still a long way, so it's not impossible for them if they continue to be consistent, at least each of these teams can penetrate the Champions League zone.especially considering that Atletico Madrid and Barcelona are one of the big clubs in the Spanish league, even in the last few years they have always been fighting for the title. Ra champions even though they are currently not in the best form, but the top four finish position is certainly a target for both teams in order to qualify for the Champions League next season
Gradually, Barcelona and Atletico Madrid are adjusting. Barcelona has been a very weak team since the previous season. They are weak this season too because they lost some of their experienced players.
However, Atletico Madrid's victory over Valencia was extraordinary. They were able to win even after trailing 2-0 in the first half. And the most interesting thing is that Atletico Madrid scored two goals after 90 minutes. If Atletico Madrid and Barcelona can maintain their form, both teams will be in the top 4 of the points table.
They both are slowy on track again as it seems. And there is a huge game between them on the next week of the La Liga. They are in a big rivalry to get past each other in the standings now. Atletico Madrid are still ahead by one point. But after this game, the balances could change. For now, I see that both of them are strong enough to be able to beat the other one. But the game is in Camp Nou and this is a big advantage for Barcelona. They seem to be more trustworthy to me these days. I think that they can win this game by one goal.However, Atletico Madrid's victory over Valencia was extraordinary. They were able to win even after trailing 2-0 in the first half.

If Barcelona can win their next match against Atletico Madrid they will be able to promote themselves to 4th place and that is exactly the thing which they should be thinking about.
I think that is the main goal of Barcelona this season. I think they already know that going for the first place is kind of impossible right now, so they should concentrate on playing the Champions League at any cost. The best-case scenario might be Betis start to lose consistently and both Barcelona and Atletico Madrid get in the top four.
Actually, Real Madrid could have won against Elche, it's just that they underestimated Elche. Elche did lose in ball possession and they only had a few chances but because of Real Madrid's poor defense Elche can score 2 goals. If Real Madrid's performance continues like this (especially their defense) then they might be overtaken by Sevilla.
Sevilla is not dangerous - the maximum that they can do is to go almost at the pace of Real Madrid but a little bit gradually lagging behind, this can be seen even in yesterday's games. But PSG is dangerous and if Real Madrid gives it the chances that it gives to weak teams in La Liga, then it will definitely lose.
I don't think it would be right to compare PSG and Sevilla. Psg is a very strong Their players are among the best in the world at their respective positions. Messi's performance in that match is also a matter of curiosity. I think he will play well. In La Liga, Real Madrid easily wins the championship. I don't think Sevilla will come close enough to follow them any further.
both my bets failed against the same team.
The movements of Benzema and Vinicius are always locked so they find it difficult to develop the game and find gaps.
On the other hand, in the 2 goals scored by Elche, it was purely the fault of the Madrid players, I think, they were too focused on the attack so that when they got a counter attack they lost momentum to park players from Elche and the attacking defenders failed to return to their original place, making them conceded easily.
besides that, the missed penalty from Benzema and the brilliant performance of Edgar Badia made them fail to get full points.

besides that, the missed penalty from Benzema and the brilliant performance of Edgar Badia made them fail to get full points.
The main reason for Real Madrid's defeat is that they think the Elche team is weak. So all the players on the team focused on the attack, and so Elche could easily score two goals. Both goals came from counter-attacks. Elche made 3 shots in the entire match and they were able to score two goals. Real Madrid should learn from this match. No team should be considered weak. And should be perform very carefully.
other than that as you said, Elche are also very capable of knowing madrid's weak side and their quick counter-attacks really left Real Madrid's defenders unable to do anything.
Gradually, Barcelona and Atletico Madrid are adjusting. Barcelona has been a very weak team since the previous season. They are weak this season too because they lost some of their experienced players.
We can compare the achievements of Barcelona in several seasons based on the final standings. 19-20, 20-21 & 21-22 (ongoing) Here he is.
From the 3 seasons that I tried to show in the picture, Barcelona managed to score more than 80 goals every season even though they didn't win the title. At that time they still had Lionel Messi and Suarez. But this season they have only managed to score 32 goals in 21 match, it is a result that is not imagined by everyone about Barcelona. Without Messi they can't do much in front of goal, it's a bad thing for Barcelona this season despite still having 17 games to play.
And it is good to see Atletico Madrid and Barcelona recovering also. Each one of these teams are one of the biggest teams of the La Liga. It wouldn't be good to witness them finishing at a bad place in the standings. Actually, these teams both are still struggling to win their games but the result is the most important. Atletico Madrid were 2-0 behind but didn't give up and won by 3-2. This is very important. This shows their dedication now.

About Atletico I think it's clear, they still have a high winning mentality, it's not easy to win in that way, moreover the opponent is not a weak team because Valencia are one of the big teams in La Liga.Yes, as you said, Atlético Madrid and Barcelona have made a good comeback in the last few weeks. I am especially happy for Barcelona's recovery, Coach Xavi has of course been of great help. Barcelona went up to the fifth place by winning, Real Madrid lost points in their last match, but I can say that it is very comfortable in leadership now.
Sevilla is not dangerous - the maximum that they can do is to go almost at the pace of Real Madrid but a little bit gradually lagging behind, this can be seen even in yesterday's games. But PSG is dangerous and if Real Madrid gives it the chances that it gives to weak teams in La Liga, then it will definitely lose.
The difference in score is only 4 points. Now the existence of Sevilla is a little threatening in several positions. If you see Real Madrid will try to maximize the match ahead. The defeat of Elche is indeed a reflection that whoever the opponent is said to be weak or strong, the fact is that on the field, everyone must remain vigilant. It doesn't matter even if their opponent is weak because usually, that's what will become the forerunner of the opponent's defense suddenly becoming strong.
At the start of the championship, the difference between all teams is 0 points, but already at that moment someone has much more chances, and someone has much less. I think that if you look at the odds, Real Madrid leading by 4 points with a little less than half of the games left in the championship is a bigger favorite than Real at the start of the championship. Especially if we compare it with Seville.
I'm happy to see Atletico Madrid and Barcelona slowly recovering, yes it's just the beginning, but it's good. I just want to see how far they will be consistent considering the competition is still long. Well at least I hope they will finish in the top 4 at the end of the season to keep their hopes of playing in the Champions League.
There are several teams that are currently trying to take the top 4 positions, athletico, barcelona, villareal and also real sociedad are team teams that are targeting to qualify for the champions league next season, a fierce competition will occur between the two big teams, namely athletico and barcelona and maybe the match between the two teams later in week 22 will determine who deserves to get into the top 4 positions, of course it will be very interesting to see the 2 teams that are currently slumping will beat each other to strengthen their position in the standings.

performance improve, so there is still a chance that Barcelona can beat Atletico. Moreover, Barcelona is playing at home, this is an advantage
for Barcelona. Atletico must be careful when facing Barcelona, don't underestimate Barcelona because in the previous meeting Atletico won.
So the results of the Barcelona vs Atletico match are indeed difficult to predict, maybe the most ideal match result for both teams is a draw.
I agree with you, for Atlético or Barcelona it is possible to only fight for the 4th place. Because of the points owned by Real Madrid, Sevilla and Betis,
it will be difficult for Atletico and Barcelona to catch up. Moreover, the performance of Barcelona or Atletico is not consistent, so there is a possibility
that both teams will lose points for the next few matches.
